Sitting out Hurricane Earl from the Outer Banks
It is absolutely amazing to think how people dealt with this situation a couple decades ago without the amazing forecasting and electronic devices we have today. The past three days have been nothing but spectacular, with blue skies and calm winds. There were no blatant signs of a massive Cat 4 hurricane barreling towards our home.
But it was pretty eerie on the beach tonight knowing the storm was just off the coast as we were all sitting a hundred yards off the coast in the lineup waiting for waves. It was a very humbling experience. As, it was almost too calm except for the way overhead bombs coming in from the horizon. We surfed until sunset as the onshore winds picked up. After checking out the 8pm NOAA forecast for Hurricane Earl we decided not to chance the storm veering off in time and head off the island. So I’m sitting this one out everyone, but hope to be back to snap some pictures asap. Best of luck to everyone who stayed, be safe.

Hurricane Danielle Photos Cape Hatteras, NC
Hurricane Danielle started off a bit disappointing. We surfed two days down south with pretty bad head high closing out waves. Monday proved to be a different story with the NE winds dying the surf up here cleaned up and made for a great session. I went with Tommie, Slezy, Lulu, Brad (our O’Neill Rep) and Snowey (O’Neil Guy too) to a ramp for a surf.
Everyone caught some great waves. Twords the end of the session a bunch of the East Coast Pros came out and it turned it to a punting show. With guys taking off on both sides of the A Frame and pumping down the line to a 360, shuvet or flip. It was nutty to say the least.
The next morning we headed out to a different spot to catch the dawn patrol session. It was glassy and fun! Brad dominated the session.

PERU 2010 Day 15
We busted it today to the kitespot early with hopes of scoring wind early. The wind came and the boys headed out to ride. The water was less churned up and much more blue. Everyone scored some great shots and we had a great day until it was time for me to take a session and the wind died out. Never the less we had another great day of sessions. That night we meet up with Palo and Ingio for a night out. We went to Loki (a local hostile) which was a trip! The place was crazy to say the least. It was a great day!

PERU 2010 Day 14
Today was the day!!! We scored it! We started by headed to a spot near Lobitos. The guys pumped up and headed out. The waves were way overhead and barreling. Everyone was just killing it. After scoring a terrific session we packed up the trucks and headed north a little bit to hit up another kite spot.
It was terrific there too, with some massive waves and good wind. We spend another couple hours there shooting. On the way home we stopped at Panic to watch the surfers do their thing. It was the most heavy surf session I’ve ever seen.
The waves were at least double overhead barreling left. If that wasn’t enough there was a massive boulder in the middle of the wave about half way through the ride at low tide. There was one set that came in where everyone broke boards and the last guy on the wave was too low on the wave near the boulder and had to jump over the rock. It was ridiculous, pretty amazing no one died yesterday…

PERU 2010 Day 13
Lay day/work day. Cloudy and no wind so I got a ton of photo stuff done.
At the end of the day the crew headed out to the point for ice cream. The waves looked too fun to pass up even though it was as gray as could be. I had some of the most fun waves in a very long time. They were over head but had a very mellow take off. -

Peru 2010 Day 12
Today was kind of all over the place. We started the day with a surf in the AM as the clouds were very thick. After breakfast we packed up the car and headed to lobitos to kite. The waves were good but the wind was all over the place. The session didn’t last too long with everyone’s kites falling out of the sky.
